2. Description of the Related Art Wastewater containing various harmful substances such as hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, and cyan is generated from various apparatuses of a petroleum refining plant, and is usually rendered harmless by steam stripping. FIG. 2 shows a typical flowchart of an apparatus for performing this processing. In FIG. 2, reference numeral (1) denotes a stripper tower,
(2) is a feed drum, (3) is a feed bottom heat exchanger, (4) is a reboiler, (8) is a heat exchanger serving as a condenser, and (9) is a receiver.

[0003] In this type of wastewater treatment apparatus, it is a problem that the heat exchanger (8) for cooling the gas separated from the wastewater by stripping is significantly corroded. In the conventional apparatus, the gas (about 100 ° C.) discharged from the top of the stripper tower is condensed by a multi-tube heat exchanger or a condenser which is a tube with an air-cooled fin, and the temperature is reduced to near normal temperature (30 to 40).
° C). At this time, the top gas is H 2 S + N
Since H 3 is often a high concentration to reach 50%, the top portion, a strong corrosion occurs over piping and the condenser to the cooler.

As one measure, a device (a stubbed-in type overhead condenser) in which a condenser is incorporated at the top of the stripper column (1) has been devised. According to this, the problem of corrosion of the portion is eliminated because there is no piping, but the surface of the cooling tube portion, which is usually in the form of a hairpin, is remarkably corroded and cannot be a drastic solution.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A wastewater treatment apparatus of the present invention treats wastewater containing volatile and corrosive substances by steam stripping to remove the volatile and corrosive substances from the wastewater. In the wastewater treatment equipment, FIG.
As shown in (1), a liquid reservoir (5) is provided above the wastewater supply position in the stripper column (1), and a liquid distributor (6) is provided at the top of the column, and the liquid extracted from the liquid reservoir is supplied to the liquid distributor. It is characterized in that a pipe is returned and sprayed from the top of the tower, and a liquid cooler (7) is provided in the middle of the pipe.

In any of the conventional steam stripping apparatuses, a gas in which a high-concentration volatile and corrosive substance and moisture coexist is cooled and condensed, so-called initial condensation occurs on the surface of the cooling pipe and condenses. The inventors have found that a solution in which a corrosive substance is dissolved at a high concentration in water is generated, and a portion that comes into contact with the solution is significantly corroded, resulting in a serious corrosion problem.

Therefore, in the present invention, the top gas is cooled by the liquid circulating inside the stripper tower, and the initial condensation is caused in the liquid, so that a high-concentration aqueous solution of a corrosive substance is made into a metal apparatus.
